A respected doctor (Kent Smith) fakes his death, deserts his family, throws away his career and drive himself to the edge of madness – all for the love of saloon singer Nora Prentiss (Ann Sheridan). From the opening shot of a media circus engulfing a handcuffed mystery man to the final scene of a scarred face peering from a cell window, Nora Prentiss ensnares viewers in its atmospheric world of sex, violence, shady motives, seedy nightclubs, and claustrophobic lensing by master cinematographer James Wong Howe (Hud, Body and Soul) that makes the camera a vital character in the drama. A harrowing twist ending adds another layer of shadow to this smoky, moody, totally absorbing film noir.

PR mentions November 17th, but I think they meant December 17th. Will fix the title if it turns out they are somehow releasing it in November.

Great Noir! Deserves a commentary track by the likes of Alan K Rode though!

Turns out I like this movie a lot more than a number of people reviewing it do! This is a solid 4/5 star film IMO. It IS far out but why should that detract from its score? Its really great entertainment!
